protéziskomponensek

Protézisalkatrészek refer to the individual components that make up a prosthetic device. These parts are designed to restore lost function or appearance following amputation or congenital limb difference. The specific components used depend on the type and purpose of the prosthesis, such as a leg prosthesis, arm prosthesis, or hand prosthesis.

For lower limb prosthetics, common components include the socket, which is the interface that attaches to the residual limb; the pylon, a structural shaft that connects the socket to the foot; and the prosthetic foot, which is designed to provide stability, shock absorption, and propulsion. Advanced prosthetic feet may incorporate microprocessors for adaptive gait control.

Upper limb prosthetics involve a range of components, from simpler passive devices that restore appearance to more complex myoelectric prostheses. Myoelectric prostheses utilize electrodes to detect electrical signals from remaining muscles in the residual limb, which then control motors in the prosthetic hand or arm. Components here can include the socket, wrist units, and terminal devices such as hands or hooks.

Materials used in prosthetic components vary widely and include lightweight metals like titanium and aluminum, as well as strong plastics and carbon fiber composites. The selection of materials impacts the durability, weight, and cost of the prosthesis. Prosthetic componentry is a continuously evolving field, with ongoing research focused on improving functionality, comfort, and integration with the human body, aiming to provide users with the most natural and effective limb replacement possible.
